I wish I could take credit for finding this hidden gem, but I can’t. All credit and thanks go to my friend Rene. She discovered this restaurant while searching for a place for us to meet and catch up over lunch. La Villetta is a quiet restaurant located on Fulton Street in Farmingdale. There isn’t…

My first visit to Lo-Lo’s Chicken & Waffles was in Phoenix, AZ. The atmosphere was nice, the service was good but the food was nothing short of AMAZING!!! I can actually say I went into a food coma after finishing my lunch! The food was so delicious, so filling and fulfilling, I did not eat again until the next…

Taste-Kitchen & Cocktails, located on Merrick Road in Massapequa, has restored my faith in dining out! I hit a rough patch for a while with my food excursions but Taste far exceeded my expectations. I cannot find one thing I would change about my experience. From the atmosphere to the service and food, everything was…

My friend suggested going to Sprinkles for some cupcakes. Great suggestion! The location was excellent. As you can see from the pictures, the interior as…

I was inspired to make waffles topped with pineapples and bananas. I sautéed the pineapples in butter and brown sugar before placing them over the waffles. I sautéed the bananas in butter only. Instead pancake syrup, I made a salted caramel sauce to add a different burst of flavor. They wouldn’t be complete without the finishing touch of whipped cream and a…

What do you do when you are craving both brownies and cheesecake? You combine the two to make something out of this world!!!! I had 4 cast iron cookie skillets so I decided to try 4 variations of the same ingredients. Each skillet has both brownie and cheesecake. I used boxed brownie mix along with a combination of…

Pillsbury Apple Crescent Dumplings have been around for decades. This was a regular dessert in my house as a child. I have fond memories of my sister making these for us on a Friday or Saturday night. They didn’t last very long. As soon as they came out of the oven we devoured them and…
